#23 Gabriel Valentino & Misha Safran ~ Passing Joy around the World
What a delightful interview this was!!! Today Gabriel Valentino was my featured guest!
Gabriel Valentino is the Founder of Umami Memories: Savoring, Story, Song, & Soul. Born into a family of Panamanian immigrants in the Chicagoland area where he currently calls home, Valentino grew to discover that he loved the elation of delicious food, the transformative spirit of music, the evocative magic of words, and the celebration of cultures. The experiences born from when those loves blended eventually became fond memories that would warm the Soul for a lifetime. The desire to capture and share those memories led to the creation of Umami Memories.
In his spare time, Valentino makes his own “Umami Memories”, inspired by the excitement of exploring neighborhoods on a leisurely day, the swell of happiness at the birth of a clever or insightful phrase, the serendipity of connecting with people, the bliss of discovering or writing an astounding song, and the euphoric transcendence experienced from a soulful meal.
Gabriel referenced the following book: Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech
And the line he sang at the end was from Abbey Lincoln's Throw it away
